  1. a mate lost 400 in a night out one pen the fox was still in next morning when he rocked up to feed lucky gun was in the truck that was one cub through a pop hole.
  2. some big rabbits in the third pic nl good do mate
  3. to me its a job not a sport I took a little shoot on for a chap about 5 years ago and some one else was lamping so I let that carry on but then on one shoot day we found 2 dead roe one from night before so I stopped every one and do it my self now on both shoots.
  4. just to add blacky last sunday was our ruby wedding anniversary.
  5. i shoot a few foxes each year most are taken care of in the ground but when i am out this time of year the roe and young just stand and gawp at the lamp no sport at all.
  6. I had some good dogs back then blacky, my wife recons I was here before cos I can remember stuff she cant but i just started young.
  7. I once met some lads down my lane an they moaning about temp for running dogs, I said to them it only fkn july what you expect, same lads allways say they just pups, but if a pup is ready to go in july, it more ready in September.
  8. when I used to come up that end we were near some mod land of some kind an arab owned it I believe all the rabbits seamed to be lovely big rabbits we used hob ferrets and any kills in was only a spit down we used to put a stone in and backfill and next week you lift another from same stop end easy ferreting that was miss it no end.
  9. tell you what mate some are like that, but most ok, they can be funny even when you just trying to measure them lol.
  10. this little bitch was 22" and coursing dog cross whippet I bred these in about 73 off a dog from maltby in Yorkshire called A1 she was a whippet in every respect lightening fast but she could drop down a gear and kill hares like her mother on large or small fields, and I used to lamp some paddocks by the road when she was an old bitch, she would nip out and come back with the rabbit and jump straight back in the car, I would of had a pup from her but she never came in season all her life.
  11. I don't keep rabbiting dogs, but a dog of any kind will get tuned in any where it is worked regular if its any good.
  12. weve all read stories bn I wrote a few but mine were never embellished just straight and true,i was a decent ferreter and an ok lamper considering I had sal crosses lol, oh and some were not bad daytime, you never here me big up a running dog of mine, till it finished then I tell the truth.
  13. I am sure he is and so am I (polite and direct that is not a Yorkshire man) but thank you don't cost nowt.
  14. all them dogs bean good dogs, I would go for one that already clicked with a pure, its a lottery whatever you do,i might give the bitch a bit longer and see if your dog clicks first, then out cross one of them to bring in new blood.
  15. gary hosker that's a name from the dark and distant, I never met the man, but I gifted him a coursing pup through a mutual friend, and never got so much as a thank you.
  16. we used to go ferreting above grassington and bedale both places always produced 100 plus and we had a 150 from bedale but to be fair with a lurcher or two you would of doubled that my spaniels was catching one after another on the days they went, we used to bolt from walls on some sheep land at Sheffield and my coursing bitch used to catch up to 20 most times great days but easy rabbits spoil you for the little mouch round home.
  17. not trying to pick faults, but with all the talk of using proven dogs as studs of late, how old and how experienced is wippy.
  18. I used to think that but its standing still, and short term, and repeat mateing's don't all ways come off.
  19. I have thought about it but done nothing and know nothing perhaps someone can explain about it
  20. your right there bill great dogs usually start well and get better year on year, and if that's a male he worth his weight in gold, but you need both parties to be the same, in an ideal world, I have a spaniel here with nine seasons of 2/3 days a week under his belt, and I want him back in my line but the bitch I want to use him on is only a year old, so I know I will miss that boat unless another quality bitch comes forward, just to add this dog works like a dog half his age he don't just turn up and he will go again this season.
